"For many people, virtual reality is often associated with gaming. Even though VR holds so much more potential than entertainment, the fact is that the consumer demand for games is what has truly brought VR back into the mainstream. From the launch of the Oculus Kickstarter to the release of Google's simple VR cardboard for mobile devices, games have been the decisive factor in driving the new foundation of VR development. Like it or not, it's time to play!"

I liked Precision Tune Auto Care because of their excellent prices.
I really liked that they have great discounts. On the other hand, I thought their facilities could be improved. In my opinion, they had facilities that were dirty and outdated.
never again
Leaving me stranded without a car overnight is not acceptable. Coming here was a costly mistake. I would expect a call when my oil change appointment is completed and that you are open until your published closing time so I could pick it up as expected. Beyond ridiculous.
I liked Precision Tune Auto Care because of their excellent prices, service, convenience, and work.
They did everything I needed for an oil change. The service was good and prompt. The Groupon price was excellent. They have easy parking and have convenient hours. I'd compare prices at other places before committing.
Precision Tune Auto Care is great due to their service, work, and convenience.
I thought they have a good location. Also, I really appreciated that they were quick and did everything I needed. I appreciated that the service was efficient, attentive, knowledgeable, and friendly.

I would recommend Precision Tune Auto Care because of their outstanding prices, work, service, facilities, and convenience.
I really liked that they have a good location, have convenient hours, and have plenty of availability. Also, I was delighted by their friendly, efficient, attentive, and knowledgeable service. I was delighted by the secure and well-lit facilities. Their prices were also fair, which is important to me. They did everything I needed and were quick. I also liked that their work was high quality.
What really stands out at Precision Tune Auto Care is their prices.
I found that they are the cheapest in town. However, I didn't find their work to be great. I found that they did not do everything I needed.

We don't know what you think, but we're not at all convinced that our Barbies would've worn this dress – not even Crystal Barbie, who liked shiny things, or Pink n' Pretty Barbie, with her penchant for pink. Of course, there may well have been a Fashion Criminal Barbie we just weren't aware of (Damn!), in which case perhaps the easily-creased pink silk, ruched bodice, puffy sleeves and kicky little "butt bow" (to make your butt look like a present, see?), not to mention the cunning use of lace, would've set her plastic heart on fire. Maybe.

Zinfandel generates an enthusiasm and magic that captures our American pioneering spirit in a bottle. This distinct varietal engages our imagination and attention like no other, uniting winegrowers, winemakers and wine enthusiasts in the pursuit of the preservation and recognition of Zinfandel as America's Heritage Wine.
Through the Association of Zinfandel Advocates and Producers (ZAP), Zinfandel enthusiasts study and celebrate the Zinfandel grape, connect with one another, and educate the public about Zinfandel's place in America's history and culture. A 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, ZAP was founded in 1991 at a time when Zinfandel was the underdog with a cause. A small group of passionate winemaking pioneers and Zinfandel lovers joined to create a movement that would elevate the understanding and status of Zinfandel wine – rightfully establishing it among the premier varietals of the world.
Today, ZAP comprises hundreds of producer members and thousands of advocates, and Zinfandel is now recognized and respected internationally as a world-class red wine that tells an inspiring American story. Its historic association with the Wild West, the Gold Rush, and rugged individualists taming unexplored territory, reminds us of a nation coming of age despite the odds.
ZAP and its members revel in Zinfandel's mysterious history and its evolving story fuels the embers of discovery, entrepreneurship and agriculture that are truly American. ZAP is one of the only organizations that has established and provided funding for education and research to study the history, genetics and propagation of a wine varietal to ensure its future. ZAP and its members not only enjoy growing and drinking Zinfandel, but they also value its character and its heritage.
Just as Zinfandel differentiates itself with approachable yet unmistakable flavors that provide a discerning sensation for the palate, ZAP and its members create a dynamic community in pursuit of a bright and distinctive future for America's heritage wine.
Support from Our Members
ZAP is a not-for-profit organization and relies on members and supporters like you to keep the story and significance of Zinfandel and its rich heritage in California alive and vibrant. To find out how you can contribute, click here.

Spending the best 5 years of the rest of your life (all pictures at link)
We hadn't seen Pompeii, the Roman city buried by ash when Mt. Vesuvius exploded. The best artifacts from Pompeii are located in the Naples Archaeology Museum. Seeing both the ruined city and the artifacts from the city would be more complete. Naples is a 1-2 hour train ride south of Rome, and Pompeii is a 1-hour train ride south of Naples. Could we do both in one day?
We checked train schedules and laid out a timeline. If we caught a 7:10 am train from Rome, went to Pompeii, returned to Naples for the Archaeology Museum, and returned to Rome after 11:00 pm, we could do both in one very long day. We later learned that Rick Steves suggests this trip with the same trains. We deferred Pompeii-Naples trip to our fourth day, to give us more time to get over jet lag. We purchased Rome-Naples train tickets for the super saver fare that's a quarter the price of the full fare.
Pompeii was a Roman city that was buried when the nearby Mt. Vesuvius erupted and exploded in 79 AD. Pompeii captured Roman life well because it remained buried and was spared destruction during the fall of the Roman empire.
The train rides from Rome to Naples and then to Pompeii went smoothly. All eight of us arrived at the main train station with plenty of time to catch the 7:10 train. We transferred trains in Naples and arrived at Pompeii at 10:00.
Outside the main gate to Pompeii is the former dock. Make out the square boat rings to the right of the cypress tree in the middle of the picture. Pompeii was a port in 79 AD; today it is a mile from the sea. Note that the unexcavated bank to the left of the dock is much higher than the dock, indicating the amount of ash that was deposited.

If coming up with the cash for a down payment on a house seems daunting, you're not alone. About 60 percent of first-time homebuyers put down 6 percent or less on their new home, according to Down Payment Resource, an Atlanta based company. However we still always advise our clients to get that number as high as possible so that you can look like a strong buyer to sellers. So whether your still saving, or out looking at homes, take a look at these 5 tips because no home buyer has ever said they have too much down payment money.
1. Down Payment Assistance Programs. The first option to consider, is to work with a bank that offers down payment assistance programs. When used properly, it is essentially free money, however, you are usually restricted geographically on where you can buy a house.
LoanDepot offers a great option for those who need down payment assistance for purchasing a primary residence. They have a program that will grant 4% toward a down payment or closing costs and if you stay in the home for 5 years, the 4% assistance will be forgiven! This program can also be used for 2-3 family homes, as long as you do not own any other homes.
LoanDepot also has other extremely low, 3% down program for a conventional loan!
Contact Angelica Tanti with LoanDepot for more information!
2. Analyze and simplify your budget. If you're really serious about coming up with your down payment funds, it is essential to analyze your past year of spending and your monthly budget. Isolate your top 10 budgetary line items and do an internal gut check on where you can become more frugal.
If you spend $5 a workday on a bagel and coffee at breakfast and another $15 on your takeout lunch, that's $400 per month – almost $5000 a year! – you can save by simply bringing these things from home. If you are still paying $100+/month for cable, $20 for a yoga class, or premium pricing for unlimited cellular service - there are dozens of cheaper alternatives for these types of usual spending. For example, I drink tea instead of coffee, my gym in Verona has yoga almost every morning with a $22/month membership, and for TV, I use my parents Netflix account and my sister's Showtime!
Redirecting the dollars you would normally spend for some of these big-ticket items back into your down payment savings account is like pressing fast forward on your home buying timeline.
2. Purge and Sell. Take a good look around your current place, how often do you really use all of your possessions? If you make a move, what absolutely needs to come with you? What doesn't? If you're really serious about home buying, your new mindset is to accumulate as much cash, and to get rid of as much clutter as possible. Gather everything you don't use/wear/appreciate often, and start taking photos. You may not see so much value, but why not try to sell? With so many re-sale apps and websites, you'll be surprised how many people will want to buy your stuff.
Check out these links below:
Don't underestimate the amount of cash you can bring in from the things you already own. Plus, having less stuff will make the moving process so much easier, and allow you to be more flexible in your home search process. You DO NOT want to shop for a condo/house based on storage space!
3. Find your Side Hustle - Is your main job not particularly draining? Are you will willing to sacrifice some hours on the weekend to make some side cash? Find a side hustle, and push all of the profits to your savings account, OR use the extra money as your "fun money" so you can dedicate more of your main income towards down payment saving. These days, side hustle opportunities are endless!
- Drive/Rideshare: Have a car in good condition that you don't use very often? Turo, JustShareIt and Getaround are services that provide car owners a way to rent out their car for cash, as well as an affordable rental option for people who just need to borrow a car for a short time. Or, join the masses and join Uber/Lyft/Sidecar.
- Pet/Child Care: Have a knack with kids? Do you love animals, but dont have the time to take care of one full time? Wag and Rover are pet sitting Apps that offer daytime and overnight jobs. The company states that you can earn more than $1,000 a month working with them. Personally, my second job has always been childcare and I use Care.com. You can choose occasional, part-time or full-time work — and the average hourly pay is $11.25.
- Virtual Assistant: Perform a variety of tasks ranging from setting up appointments to typing out emails and buying supplies — all done from the comfort of your own home, and outside of normal business hours. Sites like RedBeacon, Zirtual and VirtualAssistants make the process of finding an executive in need of some flexible assistance pretty easy — but may require a fee.
- Website testing : Sites like UserTesting will pay you $10 for a 20-minute test. All you have to do is test out websites and provide your feedback. Check it out here.
- House-sitting : This is a great way to make a good chunk of cash overnight or in just a few days! Check out these sites that find opportunities for you: housecarers.com and Mind My House.
- Other odd jobs:
- CheckPoints.com: Simply scan the barcode on an item in a store and the manufacture will reward you. No purchase of the product is necessary. You can redeem the points you collect for free gift cards, airline miles and other perks.
- EasyShiftApp.com: You're assigned "shifts" by product manufacturers who want people on the ground to go into stores and confirm that their merchandise is being displayed properly. The pay rate for a shift is between $3 and $8 and the money is remitted to you via PayPal.
- FieldAgent: Find local jobs in your area and complete them within two hours for cash.
- TaskRabbit: Get paid by other people to do small tasks for them. For example, someone in your local area may be looking to hire someone to run errands for them — like pick up their dry cleaning or help them move.
- FocusGroup.com, which lists opportunities in your area and also pays $75 to $150 per survey you complete online.
4. Your Parents and Family. Many home buyers get by with a little help from their relatives. Most mortgage programs will allow for some portion of your down payment to come in the form of 'gift money' - money someone gives you to help you buy a home, free of tax.
Check in with your mortgage representative about how much of your down payment needs you can satisfy with gift money – guidelines varies widely based on how much of your own cash you have to put down and what loan programs you're applying for. Lenders almost always require that gift money be contributed along with a gift letter that states that the giver is a relative and that the money is a gift, not a loan. The lender may also require to see a bank account statement from the giver showing that the money was theirs to give.
Here is more information on receiving gift funds
5. Your Assets. Some retirement accounts allow you to borrow against or pull out funds, penalty-free, to apply them toward your down payment on a home. Obviously your specific circumstances will determine if it is advisable for you to tap into your 401K or IRA and plug that cash into a house. For some buyers, it may make sense to get your down payment up to 20% by borrowing a few thousand dollars from yourself!
If you are ready to start thinking of buying this year, let's have a conversation. Our team works with many lenders that can help us create a financial plan to make buying a home this year a reality for YOU. Contact us at [email protected] for a complimentary buyer consultation.

PASADENA, Calif. (October 13, 2015) – Today the Tournament of Roses announces a first-of-its-kind deal with corporate sponsor, Northwestern Mutual. As a sponsor of America's New Year Celebration – including presenting sponsorship of the Rose Bowl Game and official sponsorship of the Rose Parade® presented by Honda — Northwestern Mutual will align its core values of teamwork, planning, strength, honor and discipline with the tradition, heritage and overall spirit on display each year in Pasadena.
"The Tournament of Roses is excited to extend our partnership with Northwestern Mutual," said Mike Matthiessen, 2016 Tournament of Roses President. "When Northwestern Mutual came on board last year as the presenting sponsor of the Rose Bowl Game, we realized that our two organizations share similar ideals and we started looking for opportunities to build the relationship. The Tournament of Roses welcomes the opportunity to enhance the strength and tradition of our iconic events with such a great organization."
Northwestern Mutual will expand its annual presenting sponsorship of the Rose Bowl Game, the annual Youth Football Clinic, and the Tournament of Roses, to also include the 2016 America's New Year Celebration Sponsor Rose Bowl Game VIP Tailgate and the 2015 Rose Bowl Game Hall of Fame. The company will continue to feature a float in the Rose Parade, and will become an official sponsor of the parade, with exclusivity across the categories of Life Insurance, Retirement Planning, Wealth Management and Financial Planning.
"As a company that has helped Americans achieve financial security for nearly 160 years, we have a tremendous amount of respect for the heritage and tradition of the Tournament of Roses and all the events that make up one of the most iconic New Year's celebrations in America," said Conrad York, vice president of marketing at Northwestern Mutual. "We are proud to be the presenting sponsor of the Rose Bowl Game, and now we're thrilled to also be the first-ever sponsor of America's New Year Celebration."
The Tournament of Roses' deal between the Rose Bowl Game and Northwestern Mutual is part of a broader agreement with ESPN secured in 2014. Northwestern Mutual will be the presenting sponsor of the Rose Bowl Game annually, including when the bowl hosts the College Football Playoff Semifinal in 2018.

Despite it being the week where EVE: Valkyrie is the highlight for PlayStation Blog Europe, it seems as though they couldn't help themselves when it came to the release of this juicy behind the scenes video of Batman: Arkham VR, and we hear about a few more details than what we previously knew about the title.
The guys who were behind the main development at Rocksteady Studios feature in the latest in-depth video posted by PlayStation Blog Europe to give more of an idea into what Batman: Arkham VR really is all about.
Bill Green, Acting Lead VR Designer, shared what kinds of equipment you will come across in the suiting up sequence and into the investigative tasks: "We were keen to bring in Batman's gadgets with the gadget belt. We've got the old faithful bat claw that gets you round the environment. You get to take it off the belt, you aim, you shoot, and off you go. And then on the other side we came up with a new gadget, the Scanner gadget, that is effectively a detective mode for the VR world where you can use it like a torch and then Batman can piece together the evidence using the Scanner gadget."

The American Institute of CPAs told the Internal Revenue Service that its proposed regulations for capitalization and deduction of tangible property expenditures are unnecessarily complex and burdensome.
The IRS released the long-awaited "repair regs" last December, which affect a wide range industries (see IRS Issues Regulations on Tangible Property Repairs and New Repair Regulations Require Revised Strategies).
The AICPA has been concerned about the new regulations and sent a second comment letter Monday to the IRS, building on concerns in an initial comment letter on April 17, providing greater specificity in a number of areas (see AICPA Tells IRS Tangible Property Rules are Too Complex).
"The AICPA is concerned that the overall approach in the temporary regulations relies too heavily on a 'facts and circumstances' based approach and contains too few bright-line tests and safe harbors to alleviate administrative burden and complexity in the capitalization area," wrote Patricia Thompson, who chairs the AICPA's Tax Executive Committee, in the new comment letter.
Additional burdens would be imposed on taxpayers—particularly small businesses—without elimination of "the often controversial aspects of applying general capitalization principles," Thompson noted.
For instance, the AICPA believes the IRS should provide illustrative examples to guide taxpayers on the interrelationship of some of the temporary regulations, particularly the disposition provisions, general asset account elections, and improvement provisions, Thompson wrote.
Providing one or two examples would "enable taxpayers to avoid unintentional missed elections in their efforts to comply with the regulations," she said.
The letter provides new recommendations on the treatment of improvements, as well as materials and supplies, under the temporary regulations. The AICPA also expanded its previous comments on dispositions and GAA elections, method change guidance and acquisition costs. The AICPA believes the de minimis rule in the regulations, which requires an annual financial statement that meets the definition of an Applicable Financial Statement, discriminates against smaller taxpayers. While it proposes several fixes in this area, the AICPA also suggests an alternative to expand the definition to include a financial statement that has been reviewed by a CPA.

text: Although Anavar has been wrongfully touted as being a 'mild steroid' in the area of anabolic capability, studies have shown otherwise, and as previously mentioned thus far, it is a compound that is 3 – 6 times the anabolic strength of Testosterone. Therefore, in the athletics and bodybuilding world, Anavar dosages for beginners tend to start and stay in the 25 – 50mg per day range and should provide great results whether bulking up or trimming down the fat. Advanced users tend to venture between 50 – 80mg per day, and there is usually no need to exceed this range due to the dramatic results that such an Anavar dosage can provide. Very rarely, however, experienced advanced Anavar dosages venture within the 80 – 100mg per day range.

Back to the Future is an American science fiction comedy film released in July 1985 and starring Michael J. Fox as Marty McFly, a high school student who accidentally travels 30 years into the past to 1955, jeopardising his own future existence.
When teenager Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox) is blasted to 1955 in the DeLorean time machine created by the eccentric Doc Brown (Christopher Lloyd), he finds himself mixed up in a time-shattering chain reaction that could vaporize his future - and leave him trapped in the past.
Powered by innovative special effects, unforgettable songs and non-stop action, Back to the Future is an unrivalled adventure that stands the test of time.
In the second film, Back to the Future II, Marty travels 30 years into the future to 21 October 2015, predicting several advances in technology including the use of hoverboards as a means of transportation.
Struck by The Perth Mint from 2oz of 99.9% pure silver, this coin is issued as legal tender under the authority of the Government of Tuvalu. No more than 2,015 of the 2015 Back to the Future - Hoverboard 2oz Silver Coin will be released by The Perth Mint.

By Timothy Harper
The central Illinois evening was humid and warm and alive with lightning bugs and crickets when I walked up the gravel driveway past the pickup trucks. Half a dozen relatives and old friends, people I always get together with on visits back home to Peoria, were waiting for me in the dewy back yard, slouching in lawn chairs.
They had left me a chair with torn nylon webbing. �Whoa, you�re going to have to go buy some new chairs pretty soon,� I said to our host, who has been a close friend since we were five years old. For a second or two, he just stared at me, and so did everyone else. Then they guffawed.
�Are you kiddin� me?� one of the demanded. �Spend ten bucks for a new chair? He can get some new webbing for sixty-nine cents and fix the doggone chair. Good as new.� They looked at me as if I was from another world.
In a way I suppose I am.
It gives colleagues, neighbors and friends on the East Coast great delight to learn than I am from Peoria. �Will it play in Peoria?� they often say. �Where did that phrase come from?� And just where is Peoria, they wonder � near Chicago? Many of them remark that they�ve never met anyone from Peoria before.
For the record, Peoria is in �the heart of Illinois,� roughly 150 miles south of Chicago and 210 miles north of St. Louis. It is a mostly pleasant and ordinary city of 112,000 on the Illinois River; so ordinary, in fact, that it was one of the key American test markets as the consumer society boomed in the 1950s and �60s. Growing up, it wasn�t unusual for families in our neighborhood to be supplied with free breakfast cereal or ice cream or toothpaste as long as we filled out and mailed in the survey forms that came with the stuff.
Peoria�s salt-of-the-earth reputation gave rise to the �Will it play�� catch-phrase back in the days of vaudeville: if an act was well received in Peoria, entertainers came to learn, it would probably do well anywhere else in the country. Later, the Nixon administration adopted the phrase when campaigning in the Midwest.
Explaining Peoria to the outside world is relatively easy. Explaining the rest of the world to Peoria can be more difficult, especially for someone like me, who had a working-class upbringing but went away to college � out of state, people marveled at the time � and never came back. This summer I�ll be making my more or less annual trip back to Peoria and to my working-class roots. Yes, there is a class system in America � but most Americans don�t fully understand it until they try to change classes themselves
My own revelation came on a hot summer weekend during law school when I brought a group of people home from Wisconsin to water ski, including a young professor I didn�t know very well. One of my relatives overheard the young professor fretting over getting tenure in the English department. The Peoria guy, with absolutely no sense of irony, suggested a job at the post office. �Great job security,� he noted. The professor was offended to the point of sputtering. At first I couldn�t understand why he was so upset. Eventually I realized that he had been raised in a relatively wealthy home, a home where there was never any doubt that he would go to college and become a solid, prosperous member of the middle class. He could not imagine himself in a blue-collar job, and was insulted that anyone else could, either.
When I was growing up in Peoria, my parents had little savings and no college fund for the kids. My friends� parents didn�t, either. We rarely ate out, and the two big family vacations during my childhood were both camping trips to neighboring states in the old station wagon. I didn�t meet anyone who had ever been to summer camp until I went to college, and my first trip on an airplane wasn�t until I was working as a newspaper reporter in college. Growing up, my friends and I didn�t trust �rich� kids. Of course, we didn�t know any rich kids. Now I live with two of them, and take them back to Peoria with me to visit their grandparents.
But don�t misunderstand; this isn�t about money. Going home doesn�t mean lording it over the poor relations. Many friends and relatives in Peoria � cops, construction workers, master carpenters, workers at the Caterpillar tractor factories with seniority and overtime � can and do earn more than some of the professors at the Ivy League institution where I now teach part-time.
Similarly, education is certainly a factor, but hardly the defining marker between a working-class upbringing and a middle-class life. One boyhood friend who is a Peoria cop has published two books, and during visits home I can always count on several other lawn-chair buddies for insightful political discussions � preferably late at night over cheap cigars and even cheaper beer. Yet conversations are sometimes strained, at least initially, and common ground is narrower nowadays. My old friends will nod politely when I tell them about a trip to Egypt, but when I start to hold forth on the sunsets over the Pyramids they will shift the conversation to recent movies we�ve all seen � and I don�t blame them.
A few years ago I met a couple of filmmakers doing a documentary, �People Like Us: Social Class in America,� for the Public Broadcasting System. Louis Alvarez, one of the filmmakers, said there are costs when people move out and up and away from their working-class backgrounds: �You may be cut off from the people who were nearest and dearest to you � your family and your old friends. People who grew up in the middle class don�t understand that.�
�You go away and you learn about the larger world and change your attitude,� Alvarez added. �When you come home, home looks different. You can�t help but act different, and people definitely pick up on that. You�re different by virtue of the mere fact that you went away.�
Indeed, the biggest difference between me and my people back in Peoria is not money or education or even social class. It is the fact that I moved away and they didn�t. When I go home to Peoria it takes a while, and sometimes more cheap cigars and cheaper beer, to bridge the gaps of time and distance and experience with my relatives and old friends. But we always manage. We relive and laugh at old times. And we share similar everyday concerns, whether over our adolescent children�s schoolwork or our aging parents� living arrangements or our own falling arches and rising cholesterol levels.
They�ll tease me because I still have never changed the oil in my car or re-grouted a shower stall, and ask in dead seriousness how I dare venture into Central Park without a gun. I�m in awe, in turn, not only at how they seem to be able to build anything and fix anything themselves, but at how they all still seem to be so close, so comfortable with each other. To them, nothing is more important than family. Kids who aren�t related are like cousins, and cousins are like brothers and sisters. I wish my kids could be part of that. I wish people would drop by our house without calling ahead, as some folks do in Peoria, knowing that a pot of coffee will be on and somebody will sit down and talk. I wish that just once, facing a stuck garage door or loose gutter or some other household repair, one of my neighbors in the leafy New Jersey suburbs would say to me what my friends and relatives back in Peoria would say: �You�re gonna pay somebody to do that? Are you crazy? We can do that ourselves. Here, let me help you��
Once in a while my Peoria friends and I do reflect on the differences in our lives. Surprisingly often, they remember how my parents bought the first set of encyclopedia in the neighborhood, and always seemed to assume that I would be the first person in our sprawling extended family to go to college. My friends wonder whether my parents might have been a little less encouraging if they had known I would spend so much of my life so far away. I asked my parents about this once, and they said no, they wouldn�t change anything. Sure, they wish they could see their grandchildren more often, but they�re pleased with the idea that they instilled the curiosity and confidence that�s taken me so far away.
When it�s time to leave Peoria after this summer�s trip, my friends and relatives will say they wished we lived closer, and I will say it, too. It doesn�t matter that they don�t know what books are on the New York Times bestseller list, or that I don�t know who�s leading the NASCAR standings.
In his 2003 book Limbo: Blue-Collar Roots, White-Collar Dreams (John Wiley & Sons), journalist Alfred Lubrano describes �straddlers,� including himself, who sometimes feel guilty for moving away, and have trouble relating to their working-class backgrounds, including their relatives and old friends. �We straddlers know there are costs and consequences for all the wishes and dreams,� Lubrano concluded. �They are inevitable. Limbo folk can consider themselves fortunate if they can be upwardly mobile but still rooted in the working-class world. Peaceful reconciliation comes to us when we can finally meld the two people we are.�
That�s what I try to do. I play in a larger world now, but never forget that I played in Peoria � and that for a week or so every year or so, I probably always will.

Social Study
Americans are just about as likely to say they are lower class or working class as they are to say that they are middle class, according to the prestigious annual General Social Survey conducted by the National Opinion Research Center at the University of Chicago.
The most recent results, from 2002:
If you were asked to use one of four names for your social class, which would you say you belong in: The lower class, the working class, the middle class or the upper class?
Lower class 6.1 percent
Working class 44.6 percent
Middle class 45.4 percent
Upper class 3.4 percent
Not sure 0.5 percent

Across the board, brands in most industries have adopted Instagram. A study done by eMarketer and L2 Think Tank shows that in most areas over 90 percent of brands worldwide are using Instagram. However, a much smaller percentage of those same brands are utilizing Snapchat (as of Q1 2016).
There are a few reasons why brands may be hesitant to jump on board with Snapchat.
The biggest reason is that they don't understand the platform itself or how to work it into their campaign strategy. Instagram is much older and more well-known. Brands have had more time to analyze it, and they have seen competitors succeed with it, so it is easier to justify working it into their budgets.
Another more interesting reason brands may not be getting on Snapchat just yet is because they think it's too cumbersome and time consuming to create content for Snapchat.
Looking at the data on posting frequency for Instagram vs Snapchat reveals a huge gap in the number of weekly posts.
Brands are posting on Snapchat three times more frequently than on Instagram. If you aren't very familiar with how Snapchat stories work you may be confused by the difference in posting numbers.
For Those Unfamiliar with Snapchat
On Snapchat a post (or snap) can only last up to 10 seconds. Since it is difficult to communicate a complete thought or message in that amount of time, you must add more snaps as additional content to your Snapchat Story.
A Story is a collection of cohesive snaps typically all posted at the same time, or in the same day, that form a single idea. When followers watch all of the snaps together, they blend to tell a story.
When taking into account that many brands may be creating stories out of a series of posts, it puts the statistics into perspective. It may be more realistic to compare the number of posts on Instagram to the number of "Stories" created on Snapchat, not just snaps.
9 Million Reasons Why Snapchat Isn't Too Cumbersome
Some brands think having their own Snapchat channel is cumbersome and cost prohibitive, because they must hire a large staff, or a specialist, to keep up with the number of posts necessary to create consistent content on Snapchat. In reality, creating a unique Snapchat "story" isn't much more work than creating a unique Instagram post with a custom photo and caption.
There are brands, like Cadbury, who see value in reaching Snapchat's young, highly engaged audience, and are willing to pay for it. These brands often choose the easy route by marketing directly through Snapchat advertising instead of creating their own channel. These brands end up spending a large portion of their entire digital budget on their lens campaign on Snapchat, which have been reported to cost up to $700k for one day.
Whereas Digiday reports that Cadbury did get 9 million views from their lens promotion, it might have been more cost effective and just as easy to have directed some of that budget into creating their own Snapchat chanel.
By promoting on already existing channels like Facebook or Instagram Cadbury could have spent their dollars to promote the channel and build a loyal following of real brand fans that they could communicate to any time they want, creating long term value.
The value of that Snapchat account would be perpetual, as it could continually be utilized for content promoting new or existing products and marketing campaigns.
Before you say, "wow, that sounds cumbersome". Let me ask you what being able to communicate daily with millions of brand fans and activating those fans through authentic word of mouth campaigns is worth.
I would recommend getting your brand started with its very own Snapchat account as soon as possible.
And, if you ever do a high budget campaign with Snapchat, like Lenses, it would be a good idea to first have a Snapchat channel for fans to follow to maximize your return.

The 83rd All-Star Game is at Kauffman Stadium on July 10. Leading up to that game, The Star is looking back at a Midsummer Classic game every day.July 9, 1940 National League 4, American League 0 Sportsman's Park in St. Louis
Of the myriad legends to play in the All-Star Game, Max West has the best slugging percentage of them all.
In his only All-Star Game appearance, West of the Boston Bees smacked a three-run homer in the first inning, and that proved to be his only at-bat of the game. Presto! A 4.000 slugging percentage.
The Pirates' Arky Vaughan and the Cubs' Billy Herman, who singled ahead of West, scored. Red Ruffing of the Yankees took the loss.
Five National League pitchers combined on the three-hit shutout, which was the first in All-Star Game history.
Reds pitcher Paul Derringer started and got the win. Giants legend Carl Hubbell pitched a scoreless ninth and got the save.
New York Giants catcher Harry Danning had an RBI single against the Indians' Bob Feller in the eighth inning to close out the scoring.

Some "haters," back in the day, scoffed at the paltry then-$125 registration fee. They claimed: "I would never pay to ride on public roads." I laughed and replied: "then don't." Small-minded, narrow-focused, little-picture, fear-beaten folks tearing at any shred of why the Stampede shouldn't exist, and "how dare you charge people to attend," demonstrated that they were completely unable to grasp a bigger picture.

my first surgery
When I got to the hospital, one of Jenna's co-workers came and met me and I followed her into the locker room to get scrubs on. I was extremely nervous and anxious. Once I was ready, we walked into the part of the hospital with the operating rooms. We then walked into the room where Jenna was, and I was surprised at what was going on. Jenna was stitching up a person's leg and there were a lot of doctors around her each doing different things. Everyone was extremely relaxed and they looked like they were having fun. There was quiet music on in the background, which I found funny. The room was hot, and the mask I had to wear was making it even hotter. The room also had a funny smell to it. I watched her stitch up the first layer of skin, and I soon left the room and needed to take a break. I felt very sick. Once Jenna was done, she came out to me and we walked around and I began to feel better. She told me that for some reason, the room we were in was hotter than it was supposed to be, which made me feel better. Soon, we went into another surgery, luckily in a different room. I quickly began to feel very comfortable and enjoyed watching what she was doing. I then watched a couple of more surgeries, and I even went up very close and watched the doctors replace a hip. During this hip replacement, I was able to see more of the surgery than others, and I watched the Physician do what he does during these surgeries. By the end of the day, I was comfortable with watching surgery and felt excited to see what my future could hold.

This class had a lot of coooool information. This is a great introductory class. So glad I decided to take it! I learned Cleansing, Meridians, how to Find Chakras. I love that there is a place like this where I can learn about things I may not typically look for locally.
I liked that you could feel Connie's deepest sincerity in giving the rites. I felt a real part of the ceremony and not just like an observer. There was real power in the class. I learned that there is more to learn and to be open to new experiences.
I liked the flow of the class. The presentation was great. I learned that I want to take the "whole" course… I liked the sneak peeks of the advanced techniques. As an Intro class… it was well done. I can't think of a way to improve on what was related.
"Stephanie's class was brilliant! It broadened my understanding of the many aspects of meditation and tools that can be used to aid in meditation. The most important thing I learned was that you can fill a library full of books on the information out there about meditation, self-healing through intention, mantras, etc, and you still probably would not have all the information. Part of this is because meditation is such a powerful yet personal action. I would highly recommend this class to anyone that feels they are not meditating properly but want to learn how to be better at it, or just want to learn more about it. The techniques are very simple and user-friendly."
I appreciated Connie's down-to-earth style and sharing more of her personal stories. I now understand how to set myself apart from other intuitive readers in my area and how to 'set the mood' so that clients feel taken care of and are receiving a more authentic reading in person.
I loved the teacher, John Soriano. Loved the technique and it really worked. I did this through independent study- it would have been great to have been in the class but the replay was very good – basics covered very well and all questions answered without it being live. I was totally new to meridians and tapping and found learning about these energy points and the tapping technique to be of great interest. The basic technique seems to come natural as practical reiki did for me. I am interested in learning more.
It was great to receive that one on one attention. As always Alice's classes are not only informative, but fun as well! I learned that we go through life with not only one guardian, but as we grow older another one will come into your life at the right time to guide you along your path. Alice makes learing fun and she treats you as a friend more than teacher/student.
This is the first class that I've actually taken with Alice and I loved her energy in the class! I have her book on Practical Reiki and had already started doing distance healing with only intention. This class was awesome! I actually saw the invisible person method and that helped me more in my visualization of the method. I had been doing as though the person were laying down in front of me, but the way shown was much easier to scan!

|Hundredth Quest - Recipe for Disaster!; 15 March 2006

Champion Member II
The cook in Lumbridge has a surprisingly small number of ingredients to hand in his kitchen, possibly as a result of an endless stream of newcomers with light fingers taking anything that isn't nailed down. Luckily, in the past a kind Cook's Assistant was willing to help him in his culinary duties, but now a problem has appeared that could spell... a Recipe For Disaster!
Almost all members can attempt to solve his tricky predicament, and be rewarded accordingly, but only the very elite of questers will be able to put paid to his problem permanently! The quest itself has several sub-sections, each with their own unique rewards. Check out our new look quest pages for more information.
Players willing to take on the challenge of this, our hundredth quest in game so far and possibly the largest yet, should head immediately to Lumbridge Castle's kitchen, and help out their old employer the Cook immediately...
In other news, some players will be asked to help out Leo, the short sighted Gravedigger. He's buried in some serious trouble and needs his problems laying to rest. Can you help identify which grave is which? This new random event has a new costume to collect and some new emotes for the players to unlock if they can solve the puzzle.
There is little less common than common sense.

Is your teen prepared to succeed
in high school, college and beyond?
ineffective study methods, or a negative mindset about school
could be getting in their way?
If your teen is completing work at the last minute, missing assignments or forgetting about tests, spending inordinate amounts of time "studying" (or no time at all), or if they are constantly stressed out by all the pressure they feel at school, it can be hard on the entire family.
It's frustrating to feel like your teen's lack of organization, motivation or confidence in school could be keeping them from earning the grades they deserve…especially when you've invested so much in their education and done your best to help them succeed.
The truth is… even if your teen is attending the best schools in the country,
they probably aren't learning all the skills they need to succeed.
Most schools assume that students will pick up these skills on their own. Or they teach one study skills class in 6th grade. And after that, students are just expected to figure it out.
But what if those suggestions didn't fit your teen's personality or learning style?
The trouble is that when it comes to organization, time management, study skills, and motivation, a one-size-fits-all solution rarely works. There are general guidelines and best practices which can help, but for lasting results it's important to develop personalized solutions that fit the way YOUR teen thinks. And simply telling students what to do is not enough. Especially for teenagers, having someone come in and tell them what to do is usually NOT going to create a long-term change in their behavior. (Especially if that someone is their parent!)But what if there WERE a way to provide your teen with the support & guidance they need to develop these critical success skills? What kind of difference could that make in your teen's life? In YOUR life? Imagine…
Coming home to find your teen working on a project that's due next week, and knowing that you can trust them to complete & hand in their work on time without having to remind them about it…
Seeing your teen shrug off setbacks and obstacles that used to stop them in their tracks, and approach new challenges with confidence in their ability to succeed…
Listening to your teen excitedly share their vision for the future with friends & family, and see them proactively take action to explore potential careers that are a great fit for their personality, talents, values, and goals…My coaching & mentoring programs
were specifically developed to help students develop the skills, thought patterns, and behaviors they need to succeed in high school and college. If you suspect that your teen may be missing some of these critical skills, I would be happy to talk with you about their situation and suggest some ideas and resources to help improve their academic performance, reduce their stress level, and increase their confidence.Ready to get started?
In this complimentary 30-minute call, we'll discuss your teen's situation, identify the obstacles that have been getting in their way, and discuss potential solutions that could help them create the successful, positive future they deserve.
I'm only able to offer a few consultations each week, so please book your spot today!
My first semester went really well, I got a 4.0 GPA! I really appreciate all that you have taught me. It has helped me personally and academically and I owe much of my success to our sessions. Thanks again for everything!
I'm more optimistic, and better at recognizing negative thoughts. I also feel more confident about decisions I've made. I'm not so stressed out about what to do after college either.
Thank you so much for all you have done this past semester. I think you really helped in many ways–motivation, setting priorities, time management, study techniques. His grades certainly have improved. I would be very happy to recommend you to my friends and their children.
Thanks so much. You have been really good for S. and I have not had an opportunity to express my sincere appreciation. I think she is a pretty smart kid and you have helped her academically and as a role model.
"I learned a lot more than I thought I ever would. This class was extremely helpful and added a lot to my communication skills."
He has been doing very well — staying on top of his assignments and planning ahead for his tests and projects. I can't thank you enough for all that you have done over the last couple of years to get him to this point. – 8th Grade Parent, Holy Innocents'
This class has given her an opportunity to lighten her mental stress load. Especially for a 14 yr old, life can get overwhelming and things feel like they pile up so high that we do not know where to begin…she was definitely at that point before your class and now I see her with more of a spring in her step and it appears that load is lightening up too! Thanks again.
"I believe last semester was D's best ever. I think she is finally enjoying college some and in the process made straight "A's" for the very first time. Half way through the semester she indicated that she should have taken a fifth class because she had some idle time. No one could have anticipated idle time with Bio Chem included in a full load, I told her to enjoy it. Thanks for asking."
Last semester was her best ever. I think she is finally enjoying college some, and in the process made straight "A's" for the very first time.
We both have been extremely happy with Maggie and the work she has done with Cathy. Not only does she handle the "nuts and bolts" of the work very well, she is committed to and gifted at building a relationship with Cathy. That relationship has allowed her to appreciate Cathy's strengths and challenges and effectively help her.

Bayshore Pediatrics
Call (414) 228-0099 or use our online form for a meet & greet or an appointment
Bayshore Pediatrics features pediatricians who provide compassionate and dedicated medical care for children of all ages. We are affiliated with the pediatric experts of Children's Hospital of Wisconsin and can draw upon those resources to provide the highest level of medical care possible. We care for children from Glendale, Whitefish Bay, Fox Point, Bayside, Cedarburg, Mequon and the greater Milwaukee area.
Dedicated to your kids
The pediatricians and staff of Bayshore Pediatrics are dedicated to making your child's development and medical care our priority, and we are an advocate for childhood health in the community. We look forward to providing your children with outstanding medical care that you can trust.
Connected with Children's
Bayshore Pediatrics carries with it the Children's Hospital of Wisconsin name. That means you can take comfort in knowing your child's doctor is affiliated with one of the top children's hospitals in the nation. Our pediatricians will connect you directly with the best available doctor if your child ever needs to see a specialist at the main hospital. And best of all, Children's Hospital of Wisconsin specialists will keep your Bayshore primary care doctor updated on any tests, diagnoses or treatments.
Bayshore Pediatrics provides medical care by appointment only. We strive to provide the best access possible by offering extended hours and a variety of appointment options. To receive the best appointment availability, it is helpful to schedule routine physicals well in advance. When children are sick, we have same-day appointments available.
For expecting parents, we know that selecting a pediatrician is very important. To help in choosing a health partner for your child, we provide an opportunity to meet with our pediatricians at no charge. We are accepting new patients with some restrictions -- please call our clinic for more details.
Please call our clinic to schedule your appointment or meet & greet* today, or use our online form!
*A meet & greet visit is a free appointment that allows you to meet with the doctor of your choice and see if our primary care office is a good fit for your family. Please remember that this is not a medical consultation and the doctor will not treat your child or offer medical advice during the visit.
Calling us
After hours
Concussion services
The computerized exam is first given to young athletes as a baseline. This noninvasive test is set up in a "video-game" type format and takes about 30-40 minutes to complete. Essentially, the ImPACT test is like a preseason physical of the brain. It tests things like memory, reaction time, speed and concentration. It is not an IQ test. The baseline test tracks how a young athlete's brain individually operates and provides a comparison if he or she is injured with a concussion.
Bayshore Pediatrics patients
If you are interested in having your child take an ImPACT baseline test, please call us: (414)-228-0099.
Other community athletes
If your child is not a Bayshore Pediatrics patient, please call the clinic manager at (414) 228-0099 to request a community-scheduled test.
Billing and insurance
We work with many different insurance companies. To find out if the pediatricians of Bayshore Pediatrics are in your network, please call your insurance company directly. In most cases, we can file your claim for you.

What's the Latest Development?
Does your smartphone keep you from living in the moment? As Nick Bilton watched a sunset off the coast of California, he realized he was incapable of enjoying the moment without documenting it on his smartphone. His reason? He didn't want to forget the beauty of the scenery. But forgetting is a natural and necessary process of the brain, says Oxford University professor Viktor Mayer-Schönberger. Forgetting is akin to mental hygiene and if we insist on documenting everything, we may impede that process.
What's the Big Idea?
Constantly interacting with your smartphone can also mean the loss of do-nothing, daydreaming time. In our push for productivity and efficiency, we try to best our own brains without realizing that our minds' default state is inattentiveness. Recent neuroscientific research indicates that we desperately need time to daydream. "Daydreaming and boredom seem to be a source for incubation and creative discovery in the brain and are part of the creative incubation process," says psychology professor Jonathan Schooler.

text: One of the goals of the youth ministry at Smoke Rise is to help each youth discover their gifts and talents and then provide opportunities for them to serve using those gifts and talents. On Wednesday evenings we're creating space for our students to work toward this goal. Our students will hear the story of various members of the congregation about how they use their gifts and talents in and outside the walls of the church. Our students will be introduced to the various ministry partners of the congregation by serving alongside the different ministry partners. It's going to be an exciting fall semester as our students learn about their gifts and talents, as well as the ongoing partnerships of the Smoke Rise congregation.

Dallas Texas Wedding Planner | Summer Wedding Tips
June is here already and we couldn't be more excited. Summertime is always a favorite season, especially when it comes to weddings. Summer is an ideal season for colorful floral design,
As a Dallas Texas wedding planner, there are a few things we recommend to beat the heat, keep guests comfortable, and pull off a memorable occasion. Take a look at a few of our top tips to host the perfect summer wedding:
- Send Save the Dates and Invitations early: summer is known for beachy vacations, family trips, and couples' getaways. If you're planning a summertime wedding, send Save the Dates and Invitations early enough for guests to mark their vacation calendars around your date. Even if you send an early notice, be aware that some guests may already have long-term travel plans booked on your big day (don't take it too personally, and be gracious when accepting their regrets).
- Add some color: summer is the best season for a pop of color in your wedding décor and floral design. Let your event design reflect the appropriate season with bright flowers, elegantly arranged to create a sophisticated summery feel. And remember: flowers are sensitive to the heat—we always do our best to preserve your arrangements for as long as possible (don't worry, we've got plenty of great tricks up our sleeves), but it can be hard for delicate ivory blooms to survive the summertime heat. Adding a bit of color helps keep your flowers looking fresh from start to finish!
- Offer a summery cocktail: let your guests sip on something sweet! Consider a signature cocktail that reflects the season: chilled rosé or fruity mojitos will be a welcome treat. Keep your bar selections light, fruity, and bubbly for a refreshing cocktail experience.
- Hydrate! even if you're indoors all day, it's so important to stay hydrated—especially as the bride. Keep bottled water handy all day long, and encourage your wedding party to sip water too. You'd hate to have a bridesmaid (or worse, the bride!) faint on the aisle! Make it fun with cute water bottles as gifts for your girls… and don't forget to use a straw after you've applied lipstick.
- Hydrate Guests: likewise, make sure water is readily available for your guests. Have the bartender pre-pour water glasses, or even offer water bottles at the ceremony entrance (you can customize the labels for a more personalized touch). This is especially important if guests will be outdoors at all… even a long walk from parking lot to church can be a lot for elderly guests in wedding attire.
- Serve a seasonally appropriate dinner: while not mandatory, a lighter dinner menu selection could be ideal for your summer wedding. Avoid heavy creams and rich side dishes; instead, opt for a lighter meal with plenty of seasonal inspiration. Accent the entree with a crisp summery salad, seasonal vegetables, and delectable dessert.
- Consider summer-inspired favors: the possibilities are endless when it comes to wedding favors, but summer might inspire some fun ideas. From custom sunglasses to seasonal desserts (blackberry tarts anyone?), there's no limit to your summer-inspired favors.
Our best tip? Hire a Dallas Texas wedding planner! Whether you book with us, or one of our wonderful vendor friends… a qualified planner will be there to catch all the details and smooth over any hiccups. A planner's expertise is guaranteed to help create a memorable summer celebration; plus, we know how to work with the summertime heat to keep you and your guests as comfortable as possible!
Happy summer wedding planning!
